Round Two
Super Happy Fun Old Stone
The mists cleared, and the numerous sponsors found themselves on a beautiful grassy lawn, slightly overgrown with weeds and flowers. Looking about, they took in slightly rusty iron benches, cracked and mossy stone structures, the rush of wind, and the gentle lap of waves nearby. They also took in Ralph, standing a little apart from the group and next to a long-haired man in a priest's habit. Ralph coughed to get the attention of the rest of them, and smiled.
"Well, it seems you've all had a lovely time last round." He tactfully ignored the puking Conker. "Anyway, allow me to welcome you to St. Capitolina Abbey, Rune-Midgard kingdom, universe RGO 69235. Father Rubalkabara is graciously allowing us to use the ruins of the abbey for our purposes, so. Have fun. Those seeking wisdom of a necromantic nature may confer with the spirits of the dead in the mausoleum or the crypts, but you're not likely to run into malevolent undead, this being consecrated ground and all."
Ralph gestured expansively at the surroundings and continued. "The rest of you are free to roam the grounds, relax, or..." He glanced at them momentarily, "...battle." With a shooing motion of his hands, the small man indicated the briefing was over.
Location: St. Capitolina Abbey, Ragnarok Online
Special Rules: Eyes of The Load, Engrish of The Attacking!
Minigame: Interaction? In an MMORPG? Surely You Jest!
This place is basically as described in the overstory post. White stone buildings and walkways, flowerbeds, wrought-iron gates and benches, lots of grass, trees, moss, and vines. You can head out of the abbey to the northwest and explore the surrounding woods a bit (Woods filled with thieving monkeys), but please don't go much farther.
Special Rule: Eyes of The Load Dear all user: Please be advising that we pay attention at you. Again, all votes this round must be public.
Special Rule: Engrish of The Attacking! This is an optional rule, but I'd love it if someone actually did it. Let's Engrish! Write in Engrish. Any form is good. SNK-glish, random mistranslations, common l-r/th-s/v-b/shi-see confusion... But if you try and pass Jar Jar off as Engrish, I die you good with hot bullets of shotgun. Along with the warm fuzzy feeling of making people fall over with laughter, there may be an item or two in it for making me fall over with laughter.
Minigame: Interaction? In an MMORPG? Surely You Jest!
I'm serious, and stop calling me Shirley! As you wander about the grounds of the monastery, you are quite likely to encounter other people. These people, at least in this minigame, will do things for or to you.
Take a look at this map: ZOMG MAP!
This map, while also serving as a handy guide to what's actually in the round location, is covered in a coordinate grid. At any time between now and the end of voting, you may choose up to five squares on this map. Specify them by their coordinate designations (A7, O13, etc.) and post your choices in the thread, separated from whatever story posts you make in the same way as regular votes. You may choose squares that other people have already chosen, but you may not choose the same square multiple times.
On this map are locations where you can encounter inhabitants of this universe. If you encounter someone (Many squares have no inhabitants), they will always have an effect upon you. This can range from healing, to damage, to items, to gaining WP and JP. In case of finding 2 squares with the same inhabitants, the effects stack. This minigame is open to all participants. The results of your choices will be posted at the end of the round.
Really Trivial Pursuits
1) In Norse mythology, who was the mother of Odin's horse, Sleipnir?
2) What items are required for a Blacksmith to forge a Hora?
3) What usually spawns in or around the ruined stone house near the middle of the field 1 south, 1 west of Prontera? (i.e. While in Prontera, exit south or west, then exit west or south)
Round One Answers
1) Aquasol S, Eyeball, or Power Ring
2) Ricdeau
3) One of the positions on the Tree of Life, there are ten of them. Technically "Sephiroth" is the plural form. I got a LOT of detailed answers for this one.

Look closely at that list. Note the new WP/JP totals. Note also the shiny new items. Note as well that the ability lists have been updated.
Round ends at 5 AM my time again. That makes it roughly 20 hours, 20 minutes. Not bad, I'm actually ahead of schedule.
Ready, go.

What is destiny? Can we change it, or is it bound to us, as a soul is bound to its body? If we can change it, is it really even destiny at all?
When Revan told me our destinies were intertwined, I couldn't help but wonder if he might be right. I never worried about my fate before, as I was often too occupied with trying to stave off a goblin invasion or rescue a friend from an ancient demon.
But for Revan and I to meet up so quickly, so suddenly, and to have Malak appear in equal suit...perhaps it was fate that led us together. Perhaps it was the Force that brought us all in to the same path.
Revan is a good man, and I know that he will not steer me down a dark path. But Malak is not so warm-hearted, and if his fate and my own are intertwined, I shudder to think of the consequences.
All I can do is hope that my heart and Revan's can handle what our destiny will bring, and triumph over the forces in this world that would see us brought to our knees.
Drizzt looked over the abbey, noting the elegant and majestic layout and the lush greenery that surrounded the place. It reminded him of Cadderly's temple, though not nearly as large and expansive, and for a moment Drizzt got just a little bit homesick.
He felt a hand clasp his shoulder, and turned to see Revan coming up to him.
"Nice place, isn't it?"
Drizzt nodded, his posture leaning over a fenceway that encircled a bit of the courtyard.
"Reminds me of a friend of mine, a Cleric by the name of Cadderly. He is a good man, and was granted powers by his god to craft a mighty cathedral, a beacon of good."
"You miss your friend now, don't you?"
Drizzt nodded again, now looking out over the grounds at the lush greenery that had overtaken it.
"Well, you'll see them again. For now, though, enjoy what you have, and do not let your emotions overtake you. There are some here who would use those emotions against you."
Drizzt stood up straight now, turning to face the Jedi Master.
"Malak?" Drizzt asked, already knowing the answer.
Revan nodded.
"Malak can sense your emotions through the Force. Excess emotion, passion, battlelust...these are the first steps in the path to the Dark Side."
Drizzt sighed, and turned back to the fence.
"I don't even know why I'm here. I should be home, with my friends, telling tales of dragons slain and battles won. I have no place in this world," Drizzt said, his head dipping down to his chest.
Revan chuckled.
"None of us have a place in this world, elf. But here we are. Now what matters is making something of it."
Drizzt nodded again, his eyes still turned away from the Jedi Master.
"You will see, in time."
Drizzt moved his hand to a pouch on his belt and pulled out a small black figurine in the shape of a cat.
"There is someone I want you to meet, Revan."
Drizzt set the figurine on the floor.
"Guenhwyvar, come to me!"
Gray mist began to encircle the figurine, spinning in a swirl and growing ever larger as the small onyx figurine slowly gave way to a large, sleek, beautiful panther. The panther walked over to Drizzt, nuzzling the Ranger's leg as it approached.
"Guen, Revan. Revan, Guen."
Revan looked at the panther with awe, amazed at the power and beauty of the magical beast.
"She is beautiful."
Revan extended his arm, and Guen slowly loped over to the Jedi and nuzzled his hand.
"Now that all of our guests have arrived, how about you revel me with one of those tales, Drizzt?" Revan said with a warm smile.

"Wha?" asked Kirby, poking the pink thing.
"Puu?" asked the pink thing, blowing bubbles at Kirby.
It was round. It was sorta squishy. And it reminded Kirby of something so much, but for the life of him, he couldn't figure out what it was. He scratched his pink rubbery head and thought hard.
"Puu!" chirped the pink blobbity as it hopped up and down. Kirby clapped his hands together and danced, then quickly searched its backpack for any food.
"YAY!" giggled Kirby as he piced up an apple juice and slurped it down. The blobbity looked sad and sniffled, so Kirby gave him an Apple Juice from his pack.
"d00d!" screamed a voice from above. Kirby and the blobbity looked up to see a man wearing rather unstylish clothing and long silver hair standing above him. The silver words "Ne0" floated above him.
"Puu!" giggled the blobbity as it hopped to its master.
"d00d!" repeated the man again. "WTF? /\/\0Re p0r!|\|g |-|ere??! $\/\/EE7!"
Kirby scratched his head. He didn't understand what was going on, or what the man was saying. So he walked over to the blobbity and ate it.
"d00d!" screamed the man, waving his arms around. "WTF y00 |)01|\|G? PK B1A7C|-|!!!1!!!1!!1 y00re ghe1!!"
The blobbity tasted like cream cheese, but nothing else happened. So Kirby looked up at the man, opened his mouth wide, and inhaled him. And with his mouth streching wide as the man struggled to get out, he swallowed.
Things spun. Disco lights turned on. Screaming fans cheered as Kirby twisted and morphed, dazzling everyone with his incredible skills. And then the lights dimmed, and Kirby stepped forward.
"d00d!" cried Kirby. He waved around a tiny sword and struck the ground. A small blobbity next to him blew bubbles.
--
Kirby is now NOVICE KIRBY! OK, so I've had a little experience with RO, on a private server... *coughfreestuffcough* Kirby now has a knife and is wearing some novice clothes, but aside from that, he's pretty shabby looking. The one thing that he has going for him is that he now has a Poring by his side, a little inch-high 'blobbity'.
He also speeks in 1337. _________________

The gray mist consumed Asuka and Nova, then promptly dumped them into the Abbey.
"Anyway, allow me to welcome you to St. Capitolina Abbey, Rune-Midgard kingdom, universe RGO 69235. Father Rubalkabara is graciously..."
A church... Asuka shivered. Churches always give me bad memories.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Flashback of thingy wavy!)
"Sister, why don't any of the other boys here like me? I go to play with them and they just ignore me." Asked a young boy with purple hair.
The person the question was directed to was a middle-aged woman in a nun's uniform. The woman frowned, then quickly covered it up with a smile, "It's not that they don't like you, Asuka?. It's just that they don't know you very well. Give it some time."
"Asuka?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (End the thingy flashback wave!)
Nova tugged on Asuka's coat a little. "Are you okay? I think it would be a good idea for us to move ahead of the others. Quite a few of them look like they're ready to kill each other. Besides, it will be a lot safer if we stick together."
Asuka shook his head a little, then put on a small smile and nodded to Nova, "Yeah, let's go." With that, they walked eastward.

Right that is, for born in a church was Asuka.
Asuka be searching area of O10, P6, N3, L3, K3.. _________________

"Outdoors, again. Damnit." Brahne muttered.
She was thrilled to have surivived the first round relativly unscathed, but knew the competition only grew fiercer with each new location. Other tournaments had taught her not to lower her guard, and she was still uncomfortably out-gunned. She would still need an apt weapon.
Only this place didn't look like it could supply any.
Grass hills and aged stone ruins didn't seem to promise any easily discovered weapons cache's. There wasn't even much cover. Brahne would have to either get creative or do this with her bare hands.
Not that she was opposed to that.
But everyone else was so prepared. As the contestants started filing out of the crowd she had noted so many weapons. Giant swords. Advanced technology. Impervious armor. It was like these people had more arms then they could carry...
...or keep track off.
Brahne picked a contestant wandering by himself and started to stroll off in his direction. _________________ Tell me what you think of the new Banner.

Getting back on deck was a bit trickier than I expected - there was a huge brawl going on in the Mess Hall, not to mention that the ship's inhabitants had finally caught on to our presence and were sweeping the ship with their security forces. But eventually I found my way back into the sunshine, and spent the last few hours kicking back - and drying out - under the setting sun, getting ready for whatever world would be thrown my way next.
Sly Cooper
in
A Grim Gothic Game
As the mist cleared, Sly found himself (as well as numerous other competitors, both familiar and unfamiliar) standing in a well-kept grassy lawn, surrounded by trees and ornate stone buildings covered in ivy and moss. But the raccoon had only moments to take things in as, seconds later (and right on cue)...
"Sly! Come in, Sly! Do you read..."
"Loud and clear, partner."
"Is everything alright? Were you able to find anything interesting?"
"Yeah, yeah... of course - got 'em right here. You think you can tell me what they are?"
"Yes, but it will take a few minutes... I'll get back to you on that. In the meantime, my analysis suggest you're in some sort of old church. The good news is, you'll probably find quite a few objects of interest down in the basement. The bad news is... my paranormal scanner indicates there's a whole army of ghosts just underground that might not be too happy about that."
"You're not afraid of a few ghosts, are you?"
"Just... be careful, Sly. Now, Sly, before we run out of time - I have upgraded your binocucom to indicate your current position and status on the map. All you have to do to read it is scroll down below the signature."
"Got it. One more thing - last round I had a little bit of an... incident with another competitor when he turned out to have a... hidden weapon."
"Why am I surprised..."
"Anyway, Bentley, you think there's anyway I can get scan data on these guys?"
"Of course, Sly, but... we need some sort of informational database first. If you can find that, I'll wire..." Bentley's voice was lost into staic momentarily, "... your binocucom."
"I'll see what I can do. Hey, you got that artifact info in yet?"
"Indeed. This first object is..." his voice faded again, "...from some sort of..." ... "...rotary..." but with that, the link was lost and the audio turned to static.

"...and that was how we cleared Mithral Hall of Shimmergloom, the Dark Dragon."
Revan nodded his head and gave a short clap to Drizzt, who had spent the last hour retelling the tale of the heroic retaking of Mithral Hall. Drizzt was grateful for the chance to talk about home; it took the edge of homesickness away. Drizzt was certain that Revan had known that would be its effect when he recommended it.
Drizzt patted Guen and scratched her ears.
"You must return home, my friend. You must conserve your energy," Drizzt whispered to Guen, and her ears flattened a bit at the sound of his words.
Drizzt stood, and beckoned Guen to leave. The gray mists began to swirl as Guen paced in a circle, eventually giving way to nothing but the familiar onyx figurine.
"Let us explore the grounds further, that we can more accurately gauge our surroundings."
Drizzt nodded, and Revan and he began to walk the grounds.

The mists cleared, and the trio were now on some kind holy ground. Broken down stone structures led the twins to believe they were in some sort of ruins. One building in the south, a church of some sort, looked like it had been kept up over the years. "Where are we now, Lisa?"
"I'm not sure, Bud, but look!" Lisa stomped on the ground. "We're not in any large bodies of water anymore!"
Bud lifted both arms. "Yay! But, wait, where's the red headed kid and that other chick?"
"They're probably doing what I would be doing all night long if you two would win this stupid thing and get me that bishounen body!" Guri screamed.
In the distance, the twins saw three figures: one was a woman in a blue dress with a pirate hat, another was a man with red armor and an angel hat, and the other was some sort of assassin with an old oriental blue hat. The assassin spoke first.
<Clove> wtf? hello o.o
"Umm, hi..." Lisa said shyly.
The man in the red armor had an interested look on his face.
<Uru-chan> o-o
The woman poked Bud's head.
<Celia> Oooh, are those the new jobs?
Bud and Lisa looked at each other. "What job?" they said simultaneously.
The assassin scratched his head.
<Clove> o.O A job. You know, like mage, knight, assassin, priest...stuff like that.
"Oh. We're mages, well except for Guri here." Lisa said, pointing to the goblin.
The man in red armor ran up to the goblin.
<Uru-chan> XDDDD So kyooooot. What does it eat? Can you make it talk?"
"Are you kidding? I wish we could stop his complaining once in a while!" Bud said. He and Lisa laughed. "So who are you people and what are you doing here?"
<Celia> I'm Celia, and this is Clove and Uru-chan. Our pets are named Kashell, Chanserv and Tiny
Bud Lisa and Guri peered behind the three adventurers and noticed a small demon, an undead girl and a dog. The demon, Kashell, belonged to Celia and wore some sort of pacifier than looked like a mishapen strap-on. The undead girl, Chanserv, wouldn't have looked undead to the normal passer-by. She wore a red dress and a red hat that looked like Clove's blue one. The dog, Tiny, belonged to the man in red armor, Uru-chan, and looked like it was ready to go deep-sea diving with its bubble helmet.
Guri winked at Chanserv and blushed a little, but Chanserv ignored him and hopped behind Clove.
<Celia> We were trying to find Gon-Ryune dungeon, but Clove got us lost. ;_;
<Clove> This looked similar to Gon-Ryune in Ragnamart's map database. ; ;
<Uru-chan> Poor clove XD
<Clove> so who are you guys, and what are you doing here?
"I'm Bud and this is Lisa. Our slave over there is called Guri, but you can just call him stupid. We were looking for a place to grow our appleseed." Bud said, "We'll need the apples for our ar-"
Lisa smacked Bud in the head. "Don't give away too much of our plan!" She whispered. "These people might be good guys!"
<Uru-chan> Apples?! I need applejuice for my Claudipoo :O
"Who's Claudipoo?" Lisa asked.
<Uru-chan> My pet poring. ;_; I had to put him away because I ran out of juice.
<Clove> *pats Uru* Hey, Celia, why don't we just trade some of your dead branches for some apples?
<Celia> Sure ^^
"Dead branch? Sounds delicious! They'll take it!" Guri shouted.
"What are dead branches?" Bud asked.
<Clove> dead brances are items that summon a random monster. They're usually used to get rare items from things you don't feel like searching for.
"Rare items? ...like pumpkins?" A devious smile grew on Bud and Lisa's face.
<Clove> yep, those drop, but they're not really rare.
"Excellent!" Lisa shouted. "Let's grow that tree, Bud!" |

Cyan Garamonde – 2/1
Azure and Crimson
Strange dreams he had, indeed. Dreams about a huge bard fight gone out of control – robots, gunshots and talking squirrels. He knew it was a dream since, well, squirrels do not talk – nor seemed to be too fond of alcohol. This particular dream also ended with a – literal – bang.
As he opened his eyes, he soon noticed that it wasn’t a dream – mainly from the massive headache and the small gash on his right leg – and was thankful for being able to step on firm land once again. Cyan’s memory was a little bit hazy as to what exactly had happened a few hours ago. He just remembered ducking under a table and a huge explosion that swept the Mess Hall and his mind going black.
The Samurai shook his head slightly and slowly got up – he found himself near a destroyed chapel, it’s gray walls filled with moss and, in the distance, birds chirped everywhere. It was a nice change of location, he thought, as he walked around the abbey, carefully examining his surroundings as well as the few people there.
Some of the contestants were also there, and some had went farther away into the woods or to the nearby graveyard, but Cyan didn’t pay much attention to them – after what had happened the day before, he knew that at least some of them meant trouble.
Yet, there was one person he’d like to meet again, if only to teach him manners and how to properly hold a sword – which was rather ironic, since he knew that the youth probably meant trouble for him (and for the area surrounding them, as well). Maybe he saw Red as a promising young man, from what he had seen, and he acknowledged the fact that he was growing old and that he didn’t have anybody to bestow his knowledge too. It surprised him. He had known him for only a few hours… He was getting soft.
The azure knight walked out of the abbey into the marble paved street that lead to the other nearby areas but decided not to take the main road – instead, he decided to rest under the trees a little. The fight from the day before really had exhausted his body and not even a Cure spell would make him feel better – it would probably only make him feel more tired than he already was.
“It is quite unfortunate to see that I am in such bad shape. Perhaps I should retire my sword once I return from this…” He thought as he sat down under a very tall tree, its shadow protecting him from the hot sun. His thoughts were interrupted, however, as he saw a young man with spiky black hair in the distance, obviously shouting at something from the way his arms seemed to have a life of their own above his head.
Cyan sighed and got up, walking towards the youth. If he could control his temper, he thought, he would become a fine warrior.
“He just needs someone to guide him…”

Deployment + 24 hours: 02 minutes: 07 seconds (SPARTAN 117 Mission Clock)/ St. Capitolina Abbey, Ragnarok Online universe
While Ralph was briefing everyone on the particulars of the location, John took a moment to rest against one of the stone walls and take in the surroundings. It was, needless to say, beautiful, reminding him somehwat of Reach, where he had grown up and become a Spartan in the first place. John spotted both Cyan and Red somehwere in the crowd, and he prudently made sure to move away from the blue-skinned demon from before, as well as the blubbery woman(?)
His former enemies reminded John to check his weapons once more, and he nodded as he saw he still held his MA5B and shotgun, as well as the M6D. However, John was suprised to see his ammunition for al three weapons was fully restocked. that, and his grenades had been resupplied. Furthermore, the damages that Brahne had inflicted to his armor were repaired. Well, excepting the damaged shield.
Glancing back at Jedah, John reminded himself that he needed to repair his shield, first and foremost. He waited until Jedah was gone from sight before moving into a sheltered courtyard, where he could watch all the entrances, then proceeded to remove his MJOLNIR armor. He stripped the armor off piece by piece, like a giant jigsaw puzzle, laying pieces of the armor out on the grass under the shade of a tree.
"Cortana," he told her as he removed his gear, "Keep an eye open for any threats,a lright?"
"Don't worry, Chief," she replied, though in all honesty, the AI sounded bored. Probably because there was no appreciable technology in this dimension.
Once the armor had been stripepd and laid out on the grass, john crouched next to the torso section, and was relieved to find that the shield component he'd selected to replace the damaged part with was still in one of the MJOLNIR's pockets. John set the shotgun and grenades down, slung the MA5B and holstered his M6D around his waist, and proceeded to replace the damaged apart, the sun shining down on his abalaster skin and brown hair.
He couldn't help but feel a bit vulnerable without the MJOLNIR on, and kept his senses trained for any approaching people.
-------------------
Master Chief is now out of his MJOLNIR. He's busy repairing his armor, but for the rest of the round he will not be in the armor. He's armed with the same gear he had last round. Also, he's wearing only a pair of military-issued boxers. Not that he cares....
EDIT: Silly me. I forgot the Mission Clock.  _________________

The sun shone overhead, bright in the clear sky; in Red's eyes, its searing heat was nevertheless quite preferable to the chilly, overcast climate to be found at the Thames. As he glanced about, taking in his surroundings, Red realized that the newly-revealed sun was not the only difference. From the laid-back, cheerful atmosphere of the seafaring vessel, they had traveled to the austere, almost bleak Abbey of Saint Capitolina. The abbey itself, on a short peninsula that thrust out into the ocean, was constructed of a grim-looking gray stone; it was also half in ruins, as were most of the other buildings. Removed from the sea somewhat stood a cemetary, full of old, decaying gravestones. All this, surrounded by a surprising natural beauty, gave Red a sense of peace, albeit tempered by a grim feeling deep within his chest.
This lasted until he tried speaking with the locals.
"What the HELL are you saying!?" Red screamed, his hands waving above his head.
"Oh, this's the way! You newly arrived for pay respects at Saint Capitlonia . . . ?" responded the target of his fury, a young blonde wearing a perplexed expression and not very much else. She would probably have been quite attractive if she weren't speaking total gibberish.
"Look. Why can't you just talk to me with proper GRAMMAR and DICTION?"
"I am insult . . . ! I now how speaking with god grammer !! your inabrety to undersatnd is not problem of min . . . !!huff!" And with that, the young woman stomped off. Red covered his face with his hands, exasperated by the incapability of these people to speak anything resembling proper English.
"Red Okonogi!" The teen turned, and there behind him stood the middle-aged knight, the one he had encountered during the barfight.
Red grinned with relief. "Man, you don't know how glad I am to see you! These people, I don't understand the words that are coming out of their mouths. It's like, they talk, and the words, they sound like English, but they aren't English!" The man only looked at him, an expectant expression on his face, and Red realized that he'd have a lot harder time of things than he thought.
Still, what the heck, I got 3 minutes left of this ten-minute truce. Might as well....

"Right!" Bud reached into his pocket and pulled out some of the apple seeds Shizumaru had given them and handed them to Uru-chan.
<Uru-chan> Yaaaay, thank yoooou~ :3
"No problem," Bud replied.
<Celia> And here are the Dead Branches....oh, wait! Say, I've got a few too many things anyway, so would you guys like some taming items?
"Taming items?" Lisa asked.
<Celia> yeah. You use them to catch pets - all you have to do is engage the right monster in battle, and then use the item on it, and if you're lucky, you'll get an egg! =D You'll need an incubator too, I'll toss that in as well
Celia reached into wherever she kept her items, and pulled out several things - the dead branches, as promised, as well as a small incubator, a couple bright green herbs, a rainbow carrot, a carton of milk, and a bunch of bananas.
<Celia> Here - you can catch poporings with the bitter herbs, a lunatic with the carrot, a savage babe with the milk - though it has the lowest success rate :( -, and a yoyo with the bananas. They're all over in the next screen, too, so they shouldn't be too hard to find. ^^
"Um....what do they all look like?" Lisa asked hesitantly.
<Celia> ....you've never seen them before? O_o
"Uh....no?" Lisa looked slightly embarrassed.
<Clove> they must be noobs :<
<Uru-chan> don't be mean, clove xD
<Clove> xD;;;
<Celia> oh well, you shouldn't have much of a problem recognizing them. Poporings are these big blobs of green jello with a smile, lunatics are white rabbits, the savage babes are little piggies, and yoyos are monkeys. Careful, though - the yoyos and poporings are looters
"Looters?"
<Clove> If you leave any dropped items lying around, they'll steal them ^^
<Kashell> I think I'll hide in your hair...
<Celia> Don't mind Kashell. XD *pats him*
"Ooh, your pets talk? Cool!" Bud exclaimed. "Come on, Lisa, let's go catch one!"
"What about summoning stuff?" Lisa asked.
"We can summon afterwards - our new minions can help." Bud grinned evilly.
"Oooh, good idea!"
<Celia> Just be careful - you never know what you might summon ^^
<Uru-chan> Maybe they'll get a poring like we did that one time XDDD
<Celia> I remember that XD
<Clove> I wish I could have seen that XD
<Uru-chan> What a waste of a branch XD
<Celia> Oh, do you guys want us to help you in case you get something scary? ^^
"Nah, we're cool." Bud shook his head. "Thanks, anyway, though."
<Clove> No problem ^^
"Well, Bud, let's go catch some pets!" Lisa rubbed her hands together in anticipation.
Guri, on the other hand, looked uneasy, even slightly worried. He'd given up on trying to get Chanserv to pay attention to him....well, okay, not given up so much as distracted by the talk of Bud and Lisa catching new pets. This was not a prospect that sat well with him, to say the least.
They can't replace me! They just CAN'T! I have to still be their 'slave' when they take over the world, enabling me to backstab them and take it over myself! But if they get a new pet....NO! I won't let them do it! I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN!
"Come on, slave!" Lisa pointed her broom at Guri, and the goblin had no choice but to follow her. "See you guys later, and thanks for the stuff!"
<Celia> You're welcome ^^
<Clove> np
<Uru-chan> You're welcome, and thank YOU for the seeds~ ^o^ Good luck! :3
"Thanks!" With that, Bud and Lisa, with Guri in tow, walked off into the next area, waving goodbye to Clove, Celia, and Uru-chan.
Outside the safe confines of the abbey grounds, they found a large forest. It was mostly quiet, but for the rustling of leaves in the cool wind and the sounds of various creatures moving about. A bush moved, and a large squirrel crawled out from under. It stood and watched them for a few seconds, then moved away.
"I wonder where the monsters Celia told us about are...." A cool breeze ruffled Lisa's hair as she scanned the area, going over Celia's descriptions in her mind.
*poit*
"I dunno, let's look around." Bud started walking forward, holding his pan in one hand and a Bitter Herb in the other.
*poitpoit*
"Bud? Do you hear that?"
*poitpoitpoit*
"Hear what, Lisa?"
"I don't hear a thing," Guri lied, hoping they'd believe it.
*poit*
"THAT!" Lisa spun around in a circle, looking for the source of the noise. Her eyes widened as she suddenly spotted it. "Oh! Bud, look!" She pointed at the large, translucent green blob with a cute smile that was making its way toward them. "I think it's a Poporing!"
Damn, they saw it! What am I gonna do?!
"Oooh!" Bud ran over to it. "I'll get it, Lisa!" He raised the pan over his head, ready to strike.
"Just don't hit it too hard - we don't want to kill it!"
"Yeah, I know!" Bud lightly tapped it with the frying pan. This got the poporing's attention - it turned to look at Bud, and then began butting into him with it's squishy body.
"Use the herb now, Bud!" Lisa hurried over to get a better view, not noticing Guri following, looking both panicked and determined.
"Right!" Bud lifted up the herb and inspected it as the poporing continued to bump him. "Now, how exactly do I use th-"
He never got to find out. Guri had taken a running leap from the other direction and jumped onto the poporing, smushing it. Bits of green jello flew everywhere, but mostly onto Bud and Lisa's clothing.
"EW!" Lisa shrieked.
"SLAVE!" Bud roared in anger. "What did you do that for?!"
"Because I'm EVIL, kid!" Guri waved his axe at Bud, looking supremely self-satisfied. "EVIL! And don't you ever forget it!"
"You suck, Guri." Lisa grimaced as she tried to pick the remains of the poporing off of herself. "We would've gotten another minion, and you ruined it!" She sighed. "Oh well, at least we still have other items...."
Yeah, but who says you'll be successful with any of them? Guri thought in grim satisfaction. I'm not going to be replaced, you mark my words! BWAHAHAHAHA!
"Eh, Lisa, why don't we save it for later? Let's summon something." Bud pried a piece of hardened jello off his robe and flicked it at Guri's head. "It's more important that we get some pumpkins, anyway."
"Oh, okay."

Well, this is a nice change.
Yoshi found himself on a grassy field, surrounded by other contestants who were in the various stages of wondering off. Indeed, it was much nicer than the salvage ship. Yoshi saw a path and started towards it.
What's this?
Yoshi removed a small bottle. It was labeled "Snake Oil." It looked like something you might find in the mid-19th century. Scrawled under the logo in pencil were the words, "Cures Status Ailments."
Useful...

Brahne was haivng no luck. She hadn't managed to sneak up on a single contestant, she couldn't steal thier weapons. The red squirrel had more weapons then he could realistically carry, but somehow still managed to. The bluish elf had been two fast. Brahne didn't want a sword anyway.
Frustrated, she was detirmined to catch the next contestant she spotted, and ironically, he was probably the hardest to catch. Sly Cooper spotted Brahne the same time she saw him, and the wily racoon knew to run.
But for once, the enviroment gave Brahne an advantage, because while she is not the fastest short distance sprinter, she IS quite fast when running downhill.
So fast, in fact, that her growingly uncontrollable momentum allowed her to catch the professional thief quickly, surging forth in a diving tackle and catching him about the ankles.
Sly Cooper howled, struggling to escape the queen grasp but with no success. Brahne rose to her feet, dangling the racoon in front of her by his tail, and shook him. And arrangment of gagets and jewels, coins and trinkets fell out of his clothing.
But no battle axes. No death rays.
"Damnit. You are ZERO help!"
The racoon flashed a smug smile and shrugged and upsidedown shrug.
Then Brahne remember the Racoons failed attempt to mug her earlier. His agility and sneaking proless. It was really only luck that she had caught him at all.
Brahne rolled up one of her royal sleaves and removed a jewel studded bracelet from her right hand, dangling it infront of Sly Cooper's face. His eyes lit up a little. Maybe Brahne had been worth mugging after all.
"You like this? Then pay attention. I am Queen Brahne of Alexandria. I have more of these than you have ever seen. I'll pay you handsomely in riches, just bring me a goddamn weapon. Somthing powerful.
Cooper was eyeing the bracelet and near droolling.
"Steal me one of thier fucking weapons!"
Cooper noded, and Brahne flung him about as far as she could. He landed hard, but on his feet, then slinked down a little and rushed off into the woods.

Still, what the heck, I got 3 minutes left of this ten-minute truce. Might as well....
Red noticed a flash of pink and green out of the corner of his eye. Asellus? Here?
…or not.
“Sorry, but I think I just saw an old friend. Maybe next time,” Red said to Cyan as he headed to where he thought he saw Asellus.
**************
“This are being St. Capitolina Abbey within the world off Ragnarok. Westward is city on Prontera, but journey is also possessed by monkeys. Please be enjoying your stay is the Abby!”
Nova sighed as she and Asuka walked away from the guard and through the large double doors that lead to the ruined chapel. Nearly everyone in this place spoke with the strangest accent… Oh well, at least we should be safe in here for a while. Somehow, I doubt any of our competitors would consider this place first, Nova thought as they sat in the back row of benches. They both tensed as a spiky-haired man walked through the doors.
Figures. I didn’t really expect to see anyone I knew just walking around here. Still…she IS kind of cute…
Red cleared his throat, noticing both the figures slowly settle into battle stances. “Mind if I join you? I’m Red Okonogi, and I don’t particularly feel like fighting anyone right now, if you know what I mean.”
Both Nova and Asuka relaxed, and Nova smiled at Red. “Just what we were thinking. Nova Shido, Asuka Tachibana.” Nova was interrupted by a loud Puu!, and she quickly amended “and that’s Mokona. How about some food Mokona?”
Mokona gave a happy “Puu!” as the gem on his forehead glowed, and several sandwiches appeared. Red and Asuka rose eyebrows at this, and Nova just shrugged.
“Why are you fighting in this tournament, Nova?” Asuka blurted abruptly as they settled down to eat. “Somehow, you don’t strike me as the type of person who’d enter a fight-to-the-finish tournament, regardless of the reward.”
Nova looked up the sky, thinking for a minute before answering. “Once, I caused a great deal of pain to the dearest person in the world to me. I never got a chance to apologize…and Ralph said he’d give me a chance to meet her again. He didn’t quite mention the ‘fight dozens of people’ part though,” Nova said as she gave a little smile. “How about you? Your eyes are too kind to actually want to fight everyone here.”
“I – I couldn’t protect my love,” Asuka said, voice pained. “I was too weak. The person who killed her is looking for other Alters, and is killing anyone else that gets in his way. Ralph said he’d give me the power to defend everyone…though now that you mention it, he didn’t mention the fighting to me, either. How about you Red?”
Red winced, quickly thinking of how much he could reveal without endangering himself. “My family was killed by the BlackX crime syndicate. If I win this, I’ll get them back. My parents…my sister…”
All three of them ate in silence, thinking of what they had lost...

Nova, Asuka, and Red are currently angsting in the ruined chapel. And eating sandwiches.

Malak gazed out at the vast oceans that seemed to follow him wherever he went. First on a ship, now on a peninsula... At least the monastery radiated power... No, not power. Knowledge. Secrets. The sort of thing that first caused us to...
The Sith lord shook his head, and stood up. As he turned, however, he saw another figure gazing out at the water. It was shaped in the form of a knight, and his eyes were keenly focused on the horizon. As though called, the form turned. To Malak, the figure gave off a faint trace of the Dark side, though his eyes clearly saw through the transluscent man. "A ghost of regret?"
The figure shook its head. "Of waiting."
"And what do you wait for?"
A brief pause. "The end of all things."
"All things?"
The man nodded. "This monastery was destroyed once. It will be so again."
Malak was vaguely intrigued. "And how will that bring about 'the end of all things'?"
"My waiting shall be ended at that time. For me, all things shall end."
The yet-living man shook his head. "But not everything will end. This temple will survive the assault."
The ghost stared at Malak. "And how do you know this?"
"It is so destined."
Malak then turned his back to the seas, and faced the challenges that would no doubt await him in the ruined temple itself. In preparation for this, Malak activated his Aura, the Force serving as a shield to augment his armor. At least one person would cause him considerable pain there... though the specifics were, unfortunately, vague. However, Malak wouldn't want to be unprepared... and besides, the vision would show itself again in greater clarity, if he survived long enough to view it.

Crouching in the shade of a large elm tree, Sly Cooper stared up at the stone wall in front of him. So she wanted 'weapons', eh? Surely the woman had some insidious plans... but one way or another, he was going to get that jeweled necklace. And more than one of the contestants he'd seen appeared to be heavily armed... maybe some reconnaissance was in order.
Fortunately, the large stones and eroded mortar made the wall an easy climb, and Sly quickly ascended to the top and peered over. There, kneeling in the shade of a nearby tree, was a tall, muscular soldier-looking man with no shirt on, a large camouflage-colored synthetic plate on the ground in front of him. Held in his hand was a small device with an intense white spark on one end, which he ran back and forth intently across the plate. Scattered in the field all around him were numerous other components and gadgets of all sorts... including a couple of large rifles.
Sly pulled out the binocucom and zoomed in with the magnification feature to look more carefully at the weapons. Perfect.
The thief silently let go of the wall and dropped back to the shady ground behind him and crept around to the open gate into the courtyard where the soldier lay, repairing his equipment. Crouching, Sly stuck his head around the gate and took another look at the soldier, who was still a ways off - and except for a couple trees dotting the lawn, there wasn't much cover, and invisibility alone probably wouldn't be enough to hide him in the direct sunlight. At least the man was looking in the other direction.
Sly cast a last exasperated look at the bright orb in the sky, and as quietly as he could, crept forward and into the courtyard, heading for the safety of the nearest tree. Sensing something, the man turned around slightly... just as the master thief reached the shelter of the tree and, pressing his back against it, concealed himself from view. The soldier looked back and forth a few times across the courtyard, and returned to his work.
Continuing about his business, Sly stepped forward from the safety of the shelter and drew closer to his target - though his more immediate destination was just the tree closest to the soldier. This was fortunately uneventful... but the next segment was the tough one: he would have to grab a weapon (which was practically at the man's feet) and get away safely.
Creeping forward again, Sly gradually drew approached the - who fortunately was still intently facing the other way, working on his armor. Sly looked down at the weapons. In addition to the two massive long-barreled weapons there were a pistol and a few grenades (which Brahne would certainly be satisfied with)... but now that he'd come all the way here, why hold back? Reaching down, Sly grabbed a few grenades (stuffing them into his bag), then proceeded for one of the long-barreled weapons, followed by...
But unfortunately, at that instant the soldier happened to reach around, searching for some component or another in his armor - and instead found his hand in contact with the raccoon's shoe.
"What the..." and with that, the man angrily rose to his feet and spun around to see a grey creature holding both of his heavy weapons, one in each hand.
"Heh..." Sly smirked slightly... and whirled around, preparing to make his escape.
"Give me that back!" He lunged at Sly, managing to seize hold of one of the weapons. The raccoon pulled at it, but his strength was clearly outclassed and grasping the other with both hands, Sly set off like a shot toward the gate. As fast as he could, though, the soldier readied his one remaining weapon and aimed, firing forth a steady barrage of bullets. But the thief was too fast, and he rounded the gate and dashed out of sight as the bullets slammed harmlessly into the stone wall behind him.

D +26 hours: 22 minutes: 36 seconds (SPARTAN 117 Mission Clock)/ St. Capitolina Abbey, Rangorock Online universe
Goddamn! John cursed, standing up, holding his MA5B in his hands. That rat bastard raccon had run off with his shotgun, and his grenades. No, correction, just his frag grenades - the Covenant plasma grenades were still there. But still. Hell, he'd even snatched the shells for the shotgun too.
John ejected his magazine and reloaded, slapping a new magazine in place. He snatched up the extra ammo for his MA5B and his plasma grenades and ran after the raccoon. He had to get his weapon back.
"Cortana, activate the security system!" John shouted, and Cortana quickly complied as the Chief dashed after Sly Cooper. He was fortunate that the shield repairs were almost complete now, at least - all that needed to be done was a minor adjustment or two and the shields would be up...but first he needed to get his weapon back!
John chased Sly out of the gate, trying desperately to close with the speedy raccon. Bullets were faster than the raccoon, though, and John sent a burst at Sly as he fled. Firing while running was never accurate, however, and the bullets passed harmlessly over the creature's head. The theiving raccoon scrambled up a nearby abbey wall, and John pursued, leaping halfway up the wall and catching the bricks, scrambling up after him. Even without the MJOLNIR, John was frighteningly strong, and flipped over the top of the wall. John caugt just a flash of gray further down the wall, and fired a burst before chasing the raccoon over the edge.
Sly dropped into the graveyard and ducked behind a gravestone ebfore John could spot him. The Spartan laned easily on the grass, sweeping the site for the thief. He cautiously began to sidestep around the graves, keeping his eyes open for any movement.
There! Fifteen feet away, Sly steppe dout into view, and John opened fire. Three bursts tore through the raccoon, shattering the gravestone behind him, but seemed to have no effect. John blinked in confusion, before suddenly realizing the illusion. He whipped around, sweeping the graveyard, only to see Sly dash through a door far away. Chunks of stone flew from the doorjamb as another burst almost caught the thief. Cursing once more, John dashed off in pursuit, his bare feet slapping the stone.
---------
Ammo count:
M6D pistol: twelve rounds, three clips
MA5B rifle: thirty rounds in the weapon, two extra magazines, 150 shots total.
M90 shotgun: Stolen! Twelve shells in the weapon, twenty four extra
Sly also has all of the Chief's frag grenades, though John still has his plasma grenades _________________

The raccoon obviously had some skills. Only 15 minutes after Brahne had hired him, here he came jogging back out of the woods, smiling brightly, combat shotgun in tow.
Brahne crossed her arms across her chest and and worked to contain a smile. Seeming a little proud of himself, the Sly Cooper waltz right up to the Queen and held his right arm on, holding the fierce metal weapon, and his other with an open palm, beckoning for the jewelry.
Brahne tossed him the jewelry, which he caught between his nimble fingers and in turn tossed her the shotgun, which she caught with a thump. Brahne twisted the weapon in her hards and felt its surfaces.
"Good work..."
Sly Cooper shrugged.
"Now fool! Die!" Brahne yanked the shotgun upward by the length of the barrel, cocking the mechanism and spinning the weapon to point directly at the small mammal's chest.
* click *
Sly Cooper held up each hand with a single shotgun shell clasped between thier fingers.
"DAMNIT!"
The racoon gave a short laugh, waved the jewelry one last time, then while running back into the woods tossed the shells over his shoulder from a safe distance. Brahne cursed, picking up the ammo and loading into her new weapon.

Jedah was still rather unhappy about the events of the previous round. He'd had them trapped in the dark hold, with nobody around. There was no escape. Their fate was SEALED.
(Somewhere, the pun police began to put out the warrent, but stopped when they realized that it ment that one of them would have to go CATCH him.)
But that red-haired lad with that accured sword... it actually made a cut that HURT. Jedah felt the wound across his stomach. It hadn't healed completely yet. One has to realize, for a demon who's used to regenerating a wound in seconds, having a cut several hours later is a distressing think.
"Oh, hey, look at THAT skin!" Jedah whirled around to see a pair of young adventurers run up to him. The male carried a staff and wore robes that identified him of a priestly profession, while the female hefted a large sword as she ran.
The girl looked closer at Jedah. "How'd you get that? Did you hack it in?"
"I made it this way, because that's how I like it." Jedah replied, confused.
"Oh wow, a custom job. Can you teach me how to do it?" The guy exclaimed.
"Yeah. I would soooo love to be a catgirl warrior!"
"Please?"
"Wouldja?"
"Tell us!"
"Help us!"
Jedah's eyebrow began to twitch. He couldn't properly BROOD on that accursed sword with those two bothering them. Snapping back both hands, Jedah then thrust his arms forward, extending his fingertips from his hands. each set stuck through a newbie, doing 12, 136 damage to each.
"OMGWTF? 12000 damage? WHY?"
"HE'S A PK?!?!"
The two slumped over as Jedal pulled back his fingertips, a soul in each hand.
"Much better." Jedah grinned to himself, although he was still puzzled. What was this P-K?

Jedah will be searching M3, K10, L12, P6, E6

Almost seconds after the raccoon was gone, Master Chief unarmored, busted out of the same woods, gun in hand, frantically searching.
"God damnit come back here!" He fired a couple of stray rounds into the trees. "You little thieving bastard!"
Brahne, meanwhile, was busy playing with her new weapon. With little practice she had learned to twirl the shotgun under her arm, and now she was concentrating on concealing it behind her back.
Master Chief noticed the weapon in her hands, and temporarily abandoning his pursuit of the raccoon. He hastily stomped up to the queen, letting frustration crowd his judgement. He point at the weapon in her hands, voice raised.
"Is that my shotgun!?"
BOOM!!
"Yes."

This chapel... why am I here?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Flashback thingy wave!)
"Come on! Aren't you going to fight back!?" said a tall kid, looking down at Asuka. He kicked him straight in the ribs.
"Hah, what a wuss." said another person, a recentley turned teenager. "He's a freak!" This one kicked Asuka as well.
"Why are you doing this!?" screamed a child Asuka, tears flowing from his eyes. "I didn't do anything to y-Ugh." Asuka was interrupted by another kid kicking him hard, flinging him across the main church hall.
"My dad says that people like you aren't any better than trash!" The trio of bulleys walked over to Asuka, who was struggling to get up, clutching his chest.
"Wh-why!?" Asuka's face turned from one of sorrow to anger. "All I want to do is to have fun and live. Is that too much to ask!?" A multicolored light array engulfed the area, destroying two benches. Eight jade colored orbs appeared floating in the air around Asuka.
"What the-!? Let's get out of here!" said all three simetaniously. They began to run to the doors of the chapel, but three of the orbs caught up to them and lodged themselves into the childrens' heads. The kids dropped to the floor, and all of the orbs dissapeared.
Asuka looked worriedly at the lifeless forms of the children. Through one of the doors in the chapel emerged the nun that Asuka had spoken to before. When she noticed the bodies of the children, she looked at Asuka who still had tears flowing down his face.
"I-...I didn't mean to."

Bud held up the first dead branch. "Here's hoping we get some sort of pumpkin!" Bud closed his eyes and prepared for the worst.
"..."
"..."
"How does this thing work? They said we had to 'use' the branch, but..." Bud fiddled with the twig, but nothing was happening. "Is there an 'on switch'?"
"Maybe if you rub it, you know, like a magic lamp." Lisa grabbed the tip of the branch. "Give it here, you'll probably break it."
Bud didn't let go. Both twins pulled the branch in opposite directions until finally. *snap* It broke in two. Bud and Lisa were thrown in opposite directions, and their halves of the branch dissolved to dust.
"See what you did, Bud!?" Lisa shouted.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!"
The twins shot up to see Guri being chased by a ghost of some sort.
"The giant bedsheets are after me again! This one's trying to punch me to death!" Guri shouted as he ran in circles. The "bedsheet" chased him, swooping down every now and then to punch the little goblin. Bud reached for his drum, and beat it (the drum, you pervs) a few times to summon a lightning bolt. The bolt struck the ghost and killed it instantly.
"Did it drop a pumpkin?" Lisa said, searching the remains.
"No, it dropped some cloth and dust...what a rip." Bud grabbed another branch. "Let's hope this one is better." He broke the branch like the last one, and it dissolved.
Directly in front of the twins, a black figure with a jack-o-lantern head appeared. It seemed really jumpy almost didn't notice to two small mages, but their amazed reactions grabbed its attention.
"OOOOOH! A pumpkin for a head!" Lisa squealed. She pulled her broom back and swung it into the monster's shin like a baseball bat. The monster hopped a few times and began hitting her in the head with its cane. "Ow! Bud, do something!"
"SURPRISE ATTAAAAAACK!" Bud jumped off of Guri's head and swung his pan across the monster's pumpkin head, knocking it clean off. The monster fell lifeless after that.
"Hooray!" They both shouted.
"Don't jump off of my head, DUD!" Guri cried.
"Look!" Lisa shouted. "It dropped a jack-o-lantern AND a normal pumpkin!"
Bud lifted the pumpkin and hugged it tightly. "Yessss... My precioussss." |

Revan and Drizzt found themselves overlooking a great blue sea, the ocean breeze coming in onto the shore in a refreshing manner.
I used to sail the seas in the land where I came from. Myself and a woman named Cattie-Brie journeyed for years, chasing pirates and smugglers up and down the Sword Coast.
Revan smirked.
The Force is in you. You could sense me.
Drizzt laughed.
Somewhat difficult to miss.
Tell me of Cattie-Brie.
Drizzt sighed.
A human woman, and one of my best friends. She is...very dear to me. She was adopted by Bruenor, a dwarf, at a young age, and their family were my first friends on the surface.
Revan smiled.
A dwarf adopting a human. That is unusual. Your friends all seem to be a mixed bunch.
Drizzt nodded.
They are. If not for them, I would have never been able to find happiness on the surface...or even be alive.
Revan nodded, his expression even.
[i]You mentioned your kin were responsible for the taking of Mithral Hall.[i]
Drizzt sat down now, and unsheated Icingdeath. He began to polish the blade in a nervous, stilted motion.
"My kin despise me for my heart, and for my actions. One night, we at the fighter's academy in Menzoberranzan were chosen to lead a raid on some surface elves. When it came down to it, I spared a young elvan girl, and Lloth did not look favorably upon me. My house fell out of favor, and I had a death's mark on my head. When I left the house and escaped my family, the city came down upon my kin and destroyed them. From then on, more and more attempts by the denizens of Menzoberranzan to capture and sacrifice me to Lloth were turned back, both by myself and Clan Battlehammer. They even revived my father, Zaknafein, in a spell called Zin-Karlaa. In time, we were able to defeat the uprising drow and slay the city's leader, Matron Baenre. But there are still drow searching for me, still drow coming to the surface to avenge their city and their god."
Revan nodded.
"You take this rather well, Drizzt. Your emotions are tempered, even, and controlled. You are well on the path to becoming a Jedi," Revan said, nodding to the drow as the delivered the last words.
"I...am not as in control as I would want to be. I have given into anger...many times," Drizzt said, his words trailing wistfully as he recollected his battles with Artemis Entreri and...the Hunter.
Revan felt the memories wash over Drizzt, and saw the Dark Side surge in Drizzt, if only for a moment. The Hunter was pulling at him now, begging Drizzt to release him.
"Tell me of Bruenor, Drizzt. He intrigues me."
Revan saw the Dark Side quell in Drizzt then, and sighed to himself with relief.
Drizzt began to speak of Bruenor, and the great times they'd shared.
-----
Malak was pondering the situation. He had felt that surge in the Dark Side, and knew its source. The drow was powerful, young, fresh, and the Dark Side raged within him.
Malak had found a suitable Padawan. _________________
